Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

My favorite movie ever is "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood". This is by far the funniest movie known to man! The movie was written by Shawn and Marlon Wayans who were the two main characters as well. This movie is a parody of most of the popular "hood movies", or movies with predominately black people in the ghetto. It mainly tries to mimic the hood movie "Boyz N the Hood". Basically, this movie takes a whole bunch of popular scenes from different hood movies, that were serious scenes in the original movie, and turns them into hilarious scenes. Shawn Wayans' acting name in this movie was "Ashtray". He was supposed to play the role of the serious character trying to make it out of the hood, but everything he did in the movie wound up being funny anyways. Marlon Wayans' acting name in this movie was "Loc Dog". He portrayed the main thug in this movie. But he wasn't your typical thug. Nearly every single thing he did in this movie was funny as well. As a matter of fact, the only objective for this movie was to simply make the audience laugh! Nothing else! No morals. No values. Just laughter! Thats my type of movie because if it is one thing I love to do, it's laughing. Even when you thought something serious was about to take place in the movie, it always found it's way back to comedy. For instance, there was one scene in the movie where there was a gang that was in a back alley appearing to jump a newcomer into the gang by way of fighting. One of the gang members asked "Y'all ready to jump this fool in?" They all replied "Yeah" then they started off what sounded like a gang chant. Then they started turning two jump ropes at one time making the newcomer double dutch. Another thing I love about this movie is that there are so many small things that you have to really be paying attention to the movie so that you can catch. For instance, there is a girl in the movie named Dashiki who Ashtray falls in love with. Apparently she is well known for getting around a lot and sleeping with many different men. One scene when Ashtray is getting ready to go inside of her house, they quickly show her address which is 6969 Penetration Avenue. Now if that is not comedy then I don't know what is. Another quick seen that was ridiculously funny was when they were at a party and one of Ashtray's friends said "look at them two freaks getting busy on the dance floor" and then they showed the two people on the dance floor with all of their clothes off literally engaging in sexual intercourse. I could go on and on for pages and pages explaining the many funny scenes in this movie. That's why it is my favorite movie of all time!
